I've been waiting for passable seeing for a few weeks now & it finally happened tonight. If this is the last image I get this apparition, I'll be thankful & fully satisfied.

If it is the last, it is a fitting end to an excellent series of Mars images. regards Ray

Thanks Ray. It's been a great Mars & Saturn season for me, my best ever. And they (including me!) said moving to QLD would see the end of my imaging exploits..One of the best things I've ever done.

Thanks JJJ & I'm glad to have added to the joy factor to a degree

Thanks Trevor, I've enjoyed my rather lengthy session & good fortune this time around. Last year it was 1 month of good seeing & that was it.

I like the detail John, good image 8-)

Thanks Troy. Even with ok seeing it's getting harder to get that detail due to it's size. Even @ F40 it looks rather small on screen. Seeing wasn't up to F40 of course but it didn't stop me from having a quick preview @ F40 & F50
